Lettres a Leon Et Marguerite LeClaire (1896-1907)

Largely unpublished, the 228 letters sent by Huysmans to the Leclaire couple between 1896 and his death correct the conventional image of the Benedictine oblate and reveal that of a writer shaken by a passion with no outlet and the collapse of his monastic ideal, which made him a virulent anticlerical.
